The list of my favourite Pokemon is pretty long but Latios and Latias are definitely up there. I've been playing a lot of Pokemon lately and so I have to do some watercolour paintings of my faves l #watercolour #painting #pokemon #pokemonfanart #latioslatias

Watercolour painting of the legendary Pokemon Latios and Latias. Latias is on the top of the page curling around Latios on the bottom of the page in a sort of Yin Yang pose.

I've been hunting for the shiny three segment Dudunsparce in Pokemon Scarlet and I had 13 shiny Dunsparce sitting in a box waiting to evolve. Number 12 turned out to be the three segment and I don't know how to feel lol Haven't been doing the hunt for that long so this is pretty under odds 🥲

I've been sitting on some digital art so it's probably about time I post it. I'm experimenting with watercolour brushes in Krita to see what kind of textures I can get. This piece was inspired by the song Get Out Alive by Three Days Grace (my fave band of all time). #digitalpainting #digitalart

Digital art of a young person running towards the viewer, they have exposed ribs with a fire burning beneath the bones. Behind the character is a pale figure grinning while reaching out for the young person.

Here's the watercolour Pokemon art I was working on. I've been having a lot of fun with watercolour paints so there's definitely gonna be more watercolour art from me probably soon lol #watercolor #watercolourpainting #pokemon #pokemonfanart #fanart

I'm not sure if I'll be continuing with Smaugust, it usually happens when I do month challenges and that's okay. I am currently working on some watercolour pokemon art and I'm having so much fun working on it 😁

Day 14: Sanctuary I skipped yesterday but had to do something for today. Some Spirited Away fanart felt fitting for this prompt and of course I had to paint it with watercolours. #smaugust #watercolour #spiriredaway #painting

Day 12: Unravel Another super quick sketchbook doodle. This one was kind of intimidating so I kept it small and simple lol #smaugust #smaugust2026 #pencildrawing #sketchbook

Pencil drawing of a dragon that is unraveling at the horns and muzzle

Pic*z @picz.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Day 11: Crystallize Just a quick sketch for today's prompt. A dragon head covered in crystals, is it made of crystals or is it being consumed by the crystals? No clue, but it kinda looks cool #smaugust #pencildrawing #sketchbook #dragonart

Pencil drawing of a dragon head that has been overtaken by crystal structures.

Pic*z @picz.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Day 10: Plumage For this one I pictured a sort of mix between a raptor and a dragon and raptor wyvern seems to be the result. This was a fun prompt 😁 #smaugust #pencildrawing #dragonart #sketchbook

Pencil drawing of a raptor-like dragon leaping in the air with outstretched wings and claws.

Day 8 & 9: Music Box and Iridescent I didn't like what I drew for yesterday so I decided to combine it with today's prompt and I'm so happy I did. I love how this turned out! She's so pretty! #smaugust #digitalpainting #dragonart #digitalart

Digital painting of a silver holographic dragon sleeping curled around a music box.

Day 7: Colossus So for this one I had the idea of a baby dragon pretending he's a huge dragon stomping through a village. He's having so much fun. #smaugust #pencildrawing #sketchbook #dragonart

Pencil drawing of a baby dragon smashing his way through a miniature town.

Day 6: Symbiosis One of these was gonna end up being horror themed. Today's prompt made me think of The Last of Us so here's a clicker dragon... Don't think I want to meet this one. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #watercolour #horror #dragon

Watercolour painting of a dark green and blue dragon overtaken by a cordyceps fungus similar to a clicker from The Last of Us.

I might be a bit late with today's Smaugust, I might end up posting it tomorrow. I wanted to do this one in watercolour and it's looking cool so far but it's taking a while to work up the details. It's gonna be so worth it though 😁

Pic*z @picz.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Day 5: Dormant Sorry for the not great photo. This one's not my best but that's okay. I tried something different by adding coloured pencils and it was definitely an interesting effect. When I read today's prompt I thought about the mosquito in amber from Jurassic Park so here we are lol #smaugust

A pencil and coloured pencil drawing of a dragon curled up and sleeping in amber.

Day 4: Gossamer It might be a bit of a stretch for today's prompt but gossamer did make me think of dragonfly wings so that's what I drew. Her name is Flit and flying is her favourite pastime. #smaugust #smaugust2026 #pencildrawing #sketchbook #dragondrawing

Pencil drawing of a small scaled dragon with dragonfly wings.

Day 3 of #smaugust! And I'm still following the same prompt list. Today's is Wayfinder so here's another tiny dragon. Her name is North and she has a fantastic sense of direction. #smaugust2026 #pencildrawing #sketchbook

It's officially #smaugust! And I came across @katylipscomb.bsky.social 's prompt list and just had to attempt the challenge. Day 1 was Tome so meet Brom the book dragon Day 2 is lichen so there's also Lysander - he was a bit tedious lol I already have ideas for the next prompts so there will be more

I've been avoiding most socials for a while now and I haven't had any art to post anyway. It's been a year, and it's been really hard to do anything creative outside of some sketchbook stuff. But I'm working on digital art and my comic again and finding ways to make the creative journey work for me.

tangentially related if you feel stuck or like you've stagnated and haven't improved go back to an old project and rewrite (or redraw) even a page of it compare them side-by-side I can (almost) guarantee you that you'll see a difference between your past and present skill level

I'm planning out artwork for another video and it's Mighty Nein fanart which I'm super excited about but I'm also including eight of the characters and making it super intimidating for myself. It's super exciting, but holy heck why do I need to make it so challenging 😅

Alright so it seems I've gotten to the point in Critical Role's campaign 2 where I am sobbing after each episode... Mostly since Found and Lost which makes sense lol. Seriously, Critical Role is my favourite thing in existence and the fact that I was so late getting into it is a tragedy.

Working on video stuff today and it feels great. I'm eventually coming back to YouTube but I think my best course of action is to take my time a bit and get myself to a place where I can actually upload consistently. I put planning into my webcomic, it only makes sense to do the same for videos lol

I used to make little paper phone charms all the time and decided I wanted to make a little chibi Mollymauk for my phone. One day I'll be able to make acrylic versions of these lol #art #traditionalart #criticalrole #mightynein

Chibi version of Mollymauk Tealeaf from The Might Nein animated series. He has lavender skin, dark blue hair and dark grey horns. He's wearing an open white shirt, two-tone green pants with stripes on one leg, crossed brown belts and thigh high black boots. Over that he's wearing a dark red tail-coat with green colours around the shoulders.

I watched the animated Mighty Nein series and that made me want to finally watch the original campaign. I just finished episode 26 and since Mollymauk is my favourite character and for those who know... I am not okay 😭

I had the urge to get back into water colour painting recently so I've been playing around and experimenting. It's been years since I last did any sort of water colour painting but I'm having so much fun with it. Definitely going to be doing more cute fantasy critters 😁 #watercolour #fantasyart

Been working on a commission for the past few months and so video work took a back seat so I could focus on that and deal with life lol. Back to finally working on videos feels almost weird now though 🤣 Also, pray for my laptop... The poor thing is not doing great lol

Anxiety has been through the roof on all of the art work I've been needing to do. Thankfully life is settling down again so I can actually breath and think lol. Working on all the things I need to catch up on and should have some new art posted soonish 😊

I had to move at the beginning of October and it took the entire month to both get the Internet hooked up and to just recover from the move. With work being insanely busy on top of that, I'm super behind on all the art stuff I've been working on. Thankfully I'm back online and working on art again 😁

Before I forget, here's the art for my most recent video. It's several of the characters from the book version of Howl's Moving Castle as they're described in the book. #digitalart #art #Howl'sMovingCastle #fanart #Howl'sMovingCastlefanart

Characters from the book Howl's Moving Castle as they appear in the book. On the left are Fanny Hatter with blond hair pulled back and grey eyes, Lettie Hatter with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes, Martha Hatter with long blond hair and grey eyes and Michael Fischer with dark skin, hair, and eyes. In the center are Sophie Hatter with long reddish hair and blue-green eyes and Howl with longish pink hair and blue eyes. On the right are the Witch of the Waste as she looks at the end of the book with long fair hair and dark eyes, Mrs. Angorian with olive skin and dark hair and eyes, the turnip-headed scarecrow (with his movie design) and Calcifer who has a long blue face, green tufts of flames as hair and eyebrows, a purple mouth with wicked teeth and orange flames for eyes with purple pupils.

September's video is so close to being finally done. I had hoped to already have it posted but it will definitely be up before the month is over. I also have the art started for October's video and I'm pretty excited to make that one too. One of these days I will figure out my productivity issues 🤣

I swear, every time I get a good roll going working on art stuff, my "real" job can sense it and calls me in for a random shift. Tomorrow's shift could have been already on my schedule at the start of the week, but they really don't like planning ahead it seems.

Hey! Did you know it's the best day of the year? International Vulture Day is here!!
